This new 4 volume collection will assemble the most important journal articles, book excerpts, political statements and declarations that academics, students, journalists and policy makers need to consult for a comprehensive and dispassionate understanding of the relationship between Islam, Muslim societies and human rights. This collection will be a probing examination of the topic that challenges stereotypes. It will be interdisciplinary, grounded in history and will approach the subject from a comparative perspective.
Nader Hashemi is the Director of the Center for Middle East Studies and an Assistant Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
